Steyn on Canada and the Commonwealth
We've received a lot of letters about Barbara Kay's column in The National Post, so I figured we ought at least to link to it. Huffington Poster Nicholas Nazar has a different take, but one also worth your time. At any rate, Mrs Kay was in attendance at last Friday's Munk Debate on the great migrations, and writes up her view of the evening under the terrifying headline "When Mark Steyn Struck Back": To some audience members (not to me, but for example to my furiously tweeting companion, a ...

Steyn on the World
As Douglas Murray writes in The Spectator: Hardly anything is less likely to keep people reading than to mention an exciting evening in Toronto. But stick with me. And stick with me, too, if you will. It was a more rambunctious night than I expected at Friday's Munk Debate on Europe's "refugee" crisis. (If you missed it on CPAC or C-SPAN, you can watch it here.) There is always un peu de l'esprit d'escalier after such an event and, seeing Mme Arbour across a crowded post-debate cocktail party, ...

Today, just ahead of tomorrow night's Munk Debate, I started the day in Toronto with Global's Morning Show. Lots of changes in the line-up at Global since I was last at the breakfast table, but Liza Fromer is still there...

Steyn on the World
Following his and Nigel Farage's victory for "the extreme right" in the Munk Debate on the European "refugee" crisis, Mark is en route back to his Granite State fortress. He'll have more to say about the debate in the days ahead, but meanwhile, for a change of pace, the IPA have posted his recent appearance in Melbourne as part of his Australian tour. There's a few topical Aussie jokes at the beginning which may leave cold our American and Continental readers for a minute or two, but we think ...

On Friday night, Mark took to the stage of Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall for the Munk Debate. With Rudyard Griffiths moderating, Steyn and UKIP leader Nigel Farage took on former UN Human Rights Commissioner Louise Arbour and historian Simon Schama over the tide of migrants sweeping Europe. The debate was broadcast live across North America - in Canada on CPAC, in the United States on C-SPAN (TV and radio). But, if you missed it, all you have to do is click below: The motion before the house was: ...

Steyn's Song of the Week
The grueling schedule of my sellout Aussie tour kept my nose mostly to the grindstone, but I did get a couple of hours off on the Victoria leg and so treated myself to a matinée of Georgy Girl: The Seekers Musical at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne.
That's where the Seekers started in folk clubs and coffee houses over half-a-century back, of course, and the hometown crowd loved the show...

Mark at the Movies
On the eve of the Oscars, here's a new film from the Coen brothers that's far droller and more genuinely subversive of Hollywood than the self-serving leaden propagandizing of Trumbo. As producers, directors, writers and pseudonymous editors, Joel and Ethan Coen have spent their careers successfully mining a contemporary seam of old-time studio forms such as screwball and noir. This time they have to be proficient at every genre - from elegant drawing-room comedy to splashy aquatic musicals. ...

On Monday, for my appearance at Parliament House in Canberra, I had the great privilege of being introduced by Australia's Foreign Minister, the Hon Julie Bishop, MP. The last time she introduced me - a couple of years back in Perth - she had to sit through my version of "Kung Fu Fighting"...
